Matt Damon And Russell Crowe Fingered For Pressuring Journalist To Kill Weinstein Sex Story
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-...ressuring-journalist-kill-weinstein-sex-story
Actor Matt Damon took heat over Twitter Monday evening following viral claims that he and Russell Crowe pressured a New York Times journalist into dropping a negative story on Harvey Weinstein in 2004.
On Sunday, journalist and founder of The Wrap, Sharon Waxman, penned an op-ed detailing how Damon and Crowe called her “directly” to pressure her into dropping a story about Miramax Italy’s head Fabrizio Lombardo handling “Weinstein’s women needs” during European film festivals and other events. Waxman had located a young woman in London who Weinstein paid off after an "unwanted sexual encounter." While the woman would not violate her non-disclosure agreement, Waxman had proof of the payoff.
On Monday, actress Rose McGowan – who was featured in a bombshell NYT Exposé detailing Harvey Weinstein’s sexual abuse of young actresses, retweeted the story after it was picked up by vulture.com – asking “Do u realise [sic] how deep the cover ups go?”
Vulture.com reports:
Sharon Waxman, founder of the Wrap, writes that her own investigate reporting, which took her on an international trip to uncover rumors of Weinstein’s sexual misconduct, was cut from the Times in 2004 under pressure from several Hollywood elites. Waxman alleges in the Wrap that Matt Damon and Russell Crowe called her “directly” to dispel the reports she was following about Miramax’s Italian head Fabrizio Lombardo, who was allegedly hired “to take care of Weinstein’s women needs.”
In response to Waxman’s op-ed, the New York Times claims her story “did not have anything near what was revealed in our story,” adding “Mainly, she had an off-the-record account from one woman.”
McGowan then tweeted “Hey @mattdamon what’s it like to be a spineless profiteer who stays silent?”
UPDATE: Matt Damon responds (via Fox News)
Speaking to Deadline, Damon has a much different recollection of the events in question.
“My recollection was that it was about a one minute phone call. Harvey had called me and said, they’re writing a story about Fabrizio, who I knew from ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley.’ He has organized our premiere in Italy and so I knew him in a professional capacity and I’d had dinner at his house,” Damon explained. “Harvey said, Sharon Waxman is writing a story about Fabrizio and it’s really negative. Can you just call and tell her what your experience with Fabrizio was. So I did, and that’s what I said to her. It didn’t even make the piece that she wrote.”
Damon goes on to explain that he was never aware that the story he was commenting on had anything to do with sexual misconduct at the time, and he says that he was not among the numerous celebrities now claiming that they knew something about Weinstein’s actions prior to the recent exposé by the Times.
And now, Angelina Jolie and Gwenyth Paltrow have come forward with allegations against Weinstein

People reports:
Asia Argento, the director and actress who alleged in today’s bombshell article in The New Yorker that she was sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein following an encounter where he asked for a massage, has tweeted a scene from her 2000 film, Scarlet Diva. It is a scene in which she turned her pain into art; she says it was inspired by that traumatic incident. Weinstein has denied the assault through a spokesperson. View her tweet and watch the clip below:

The scene she filmed(2002) is eerily similar to the reports from NYT. seems the massage ploy was his favorite trick

Any actor who has worked with him and any politician who has accepted donations from Harvey has to make a statement now or be accused of covering up his bad behaviour. Dude should have stuck to escorts!
As per usual you have no clue what you're ralking about:

While I fully believe that Weinstein is a serial masher, some of what's come out I'm taking with a grain of salt.
The story that Matt Damon and Russell Crowe acted as fixers is doubtful. Damon I'm not sure about but the Crowe link is flimsy at best. Rusty has always been supportive of his female cast mates and he's still friends with his ex-wife. And more women post to his Twitter page than men. He's made an asshole of himself in the past, making him a convenient scapegoat. I'm not buying it.
Damon has spoke up but Crowe has kept silent.

Porny is quoting from Zerohedge again, a well known fake news bullshit site. No need to take it seriously given the media source.
I misread your post then. I thought you were implying he's innocent of rape,
FTR he has admitted to groping at least one actress, that is technically sexual assault.
Why cops never charged him is beyond me, and at least they're now saying that might have been a mistake
I'm clearly NOT suggesting that. This is an exercise in linking pronouns to their correct references. Try harder:
"I'm sure lots of women are willing to put out to move up in Hollywood, and while that's sleazy, it's not rape, which is what Weinstein is accused of."
According to this IMDB article cops are claiming it was a mistake not to charge him:
